I would definitely prefer a grant, but this is an innovative way to fund this transition to electric buses. We started this conversation looking for a grant. It wasn't there, so this was the suggestion, and we were told to look at the Canada Infrastructure Bank, as they're looking at ways to help municipalities with this transformation, so we found a partner. There didn't appear to be infrastructure funding on a grant basis for this type of support.
